The Zombie Wears Vintage

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, men had rather beautiful behinds. Thanks to excellently tailored trousers and jeans, the male posterior was enjoying its heyday, clad to the perfect degree of tightness, displayed to its very best. Curvy, squeezable, toned – good jeans were responsible for many of the appreciative (and gently objectifying) “ooooh” moments of many [...]

What a wonderful weekend. Truly wonderful. This was always going to be one of those weekends where you got a lot done. I always find that when you have an earlyish start (despite the trials and tribulations of dragging your sorry body out of bed) you actually end up having really enjoyable days because so much fits [...]

I’m not really a radio person. I have a list of digital radio stations I want to start listening to, and I often enjoy a bit of cheesy 80′s music on local stations, but when it comes to “popular” radio, I admit to being a grumpy bastard. I just wish the idiots would shut up, most of [...]

Well what a wonderful weekend away. I’ve been stressed recently, in case y’all couldn’t tell, and so a chance to get away from the mania of work and home, away from the complete bombsite that is my bedroom, was simply to be jumped at. And so it was that on Saturday morning we jumped in the car for the [...]

Ok, so Friday afternoon soft porn probably won’t be a recurring feature. However, having actually walked straight into oncoming (pedestrian) traffic in Leamington the other weekend thanks to certain 6 foot high black and white images of a certain toned ex-footballer’s physique, I had to share my letchery. Enjoy (it looks good in full screen [...]

Last night, I hated myself. Real, honest-to-goodness, self-loathing. I hated the pudginess of my body, the different shape that has developed over the past few months. I hated my skin, with the spots always lurking beneath the surface, with the bumpy scar-ridden pattern that is becoming all too familiar. I hated every single centimetre of myself, with a hot angry feeling [...]

Sometimes all a gal wants is a meme. She wants to blog, she wants to say witty and sparklingly intelligent things that make her readers swoon with amazement – but all she can really stretch to is a list of fun questions and the occasional amusing one-liner. And typing in the third person. Thanks to the lovely DressJunkie [...]

Oh God, it’s happening to me again. I often feel like I’m not a particularly loving person. I care a lot, very deeply in fact, about people, but I don’t really show it. I make jokes and I’m cynical, and sometimes the most romantic gestures in the world make me a feel a little ill. I’m a pragmatist, a joker. [...]

Well well well, we are three days into 2012 already. How did this happen?! I have high hopes for 2012. Not high hopes in a tempting-fate-and-living-to-regret-it way, but more those quiet little hopes that are infinitely achievable, and which putter along minding their own business with the single aim of making life that little bit more enjoyable for all [...]

I am a liberal. A full-blown bred-by-hippies, believing in equal rights and opportunities for all kind of liberal. So, being the type to enjoy a good internet based questionnaire designed to impart judgement and assign labels to me on the basis of a short and largely irrelevant series of questions, I today found out what [...]
